An isosceles triangle of wood of base 2a and height h is placed with its base on the ground vertex directly above. The triangle faces the sun whose altitude is 30^@. Then, the tangent of the angle at the apex of the shadow is

Answer»

`(2ah)/sqrt3`
`(2sqrt3ah)/(3h^2-a^2)`
`(a^2+h^2)/(2sqrt3)`
`(2sqrt3ah)/(3h^2+a^2)`

Solution :Let ABC be the isosceles triangle with base BC=2a and height AD=h.
Let BCE be the shadow of `triangleABC` such that E is the apex of the shadow.
Clearly, DE is the height of the TRIANGULAR shadow.
Let `2alpha` be the angle at the apex E of the shadow. Then,
`tan ALPHA =a/(DE)`

Since the altitude of the sun is `30^@` . Therefore,
`tan 30^@=(AD)/(DE)RARR 1/sqrt3=h/(DE) rArr DE=sqrt3h`
`therefore tan alpha=a/(sqrt3h)`
Now,
`tan 2alpha=(2 tan alpha )/(1-tan^2 alpha ) rArr tan 2alpha =(2a//sqrt3h)/(1-a^2/(3h^2))=(2sqrt3ah)/(3h^2-a^2)`

Following the party, Max and his friends decide to play a party game with cards. There are 20 cards arranged in a row on the table. Each card is showing a positive integer. On each player's turn, he allowed to take either the left most or right most card. This is done until all the cards are taken. The winner is the player who has the greatest sum of numbers on his/her cards. What should be Max’s first move so that he can win the game? The sequences are:A rarr 2111381256892110715171841618191B rarr12181348161753192116111218141569

Solution :2​ from the FIRST pile and ​9​ from the SECOND. The trick here is to minimize the losses. What might seem like a wrong move might get COMPENSATED for in the following moves. This can be solved using a computer algorithm but for the purposes of the QUIZ, using intelligent guesswork should suffice.
